hybride THX1138 with Cronenberg


and you get this: Antiviral

a condense of what human condition is: a struggle between flesh, technology and the virtual.
it is all about blood circuits, the connection where everything comes together.

I find this movie beautifully depicted. The story doesn't matter to me. it is a sequence of continued moments.
I find the blood and the cells a very reasonable metaphor for the role that information has in the times we are living.
Instead of giving vital energy it makes us sick and dependent from the system that we live in, we continue without a remote awareness about what is happening with us or around us, but living on: blind, crippled and helpless. victims of something that is happening but that we do not understand remotely and being marginalized from.

be it a virus or politics or economics. it is about an infection with ideas that makes us feeling sick. and there is no cure on the waterfront. it is just a disaster. nobody is to be saved.
